Meers Burgers

Well this weekend we logged a relatively quick 556 miles. Saturday, quite early we met in Decatur at 8:00 am. We got there a bit early, in fact we were the 2nd and 3rd bikes there and the first bike was a new guy, so we were a bit concerned we had the right meeting place! We are never early.

Anyway we ended up with 21 bikes in 2 pods. I was tailing the second pod so had great view of all the bikes in front of me. The roads were nice, Meers is in a pretty nice and hilly part of OK, in the Wichata mountains. As we rounded the corner and crested a hill, there's a traffic jam in front of the restaurant. We arrived about 1:00 pm and had about a 45 minute wait before we got seated. Nothing around for miles but the restaurant is a destination. Supposedly the 8th best hamburgers in the US. They were very good. Meers is an old mining town and the restaurant has been around since 1901. http://www.meersstore.com/main.html




Several of the folks headed back home after lunch and a smaller group of us continued on Scenic 115 on to Quartz Mountain Resort in Lone Wolf. It was only about 80 miles and relatively uneventful ride. Our room was on the ground floor facing the lake with a patio door. When we opened the door there was a small snake and a small scorpion welcoming us!

Darlene came down with a bad cough so when we got up in the morning we took off early to get home. The drive out of the resort was great, through the grounds and along the lake. We saw 4 deer by the road and a bit further a flock of turkeys.

We got home just after noon.
